Answer:
2.49\ m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mass of nitrogen present
m=28\ g

Temperature
T=27^(\circ)C\equiv 300\ K

Pressure
P=785\ mm\ \text{of}\ Hg\ \text{or}\ 1.032\ atm

The molar mass of Nitrogen
M=28\ g/mol

No of moles of nitrogen present


n=(m)/(M)\\\\n=(28)/(28)\\\\n=1

Using
PV=nRT


\Rightarrow 1.032* V=1* 8.314* 300\\\\\Rightarrow V=(2494.2)/(1.032)\\\\\Rightarrow V=2494.2\ L\ \text{or}\ 2.49\ m^3
